As per the 2024 White Paper, Asia still ranked first despite the share being 64.6%. It is down by seven percent from 71.6% in 2023. The North American was only seven percent in 2023 but rose to 14.3% in 2024, taking second place. Europe ranked third, slightly lower than North America. Central and South America, which had fallen sharply to 0.8% in 2023, recovered to 2.5%.

By country, Japan ranked first with 16.1%, and Taiwan dropped to second. A notable country is Vietnam, which ranked fourth. After the pandemic, Vietnam, which entered the top 10 in 2022, has grown rapidly and established itself as an important film market for Korea. In addition, the importance of Asian countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and India is increasing.
